Tartine al salmone in Canadian style!

A few days ago I had this great creative idea. I had some salmon left in the fridge that I used for my penne with vodka and I decided to make some “tartine“. In Italy “tartina” (singular; plural: “tartine”) is a yummy appetizer that you can obtain cutting the bread in the shape you prefer using a cookie cutter and putting mascarpone, cheese, butter or butter cream, mayo, salmon, capers, anchovies and herbs on the top. It’s very easy and funny to prepare. You have to remove the bread crust. If you don’t have the cookie cutter you can make some basic shapes – a square or a rectangle. You can spread the kind of cheese you prefer. Some ideas: caprino, cream cheese, philadelphia, salted butter. Then put some salmon and capers. I used the shape of the maple leaf, the symbol of Canada.
